About Jorge Antonio Falla of Colombia
Finca La Candela, “Candle Farm,” is owned by Jorge Antonio Falla. Passionate about coffee, Jorge is not content with what he has already accomplished on his farm. Jorge is constantly pursuing excellence in every phase of production; in fact, coffee from Finca La Candela is consistently garnering higher prices than many of the surrounding farms are able to obtain.
As part of his on-going commitment to producing specialty-grade coffee, Jorge, his brother Freddy, and several other family members (who also have coffee farms) have recently built a wet mill at La Candela in order to wash and dry their coffee on site.

Bold Bean Coffee
Bold Bean Coffee has been making history ever since Jay Burnett launched the roasting company in 2007 in Jacksonville, Florida: from opening their first retail shop in 2011, expanding to three cafes and a roastery, to winning best coffee shop in Jacksonville for several years running.
These days Jay’s son, Zack Burnett (an avid surfer who calls the beach his “third place”), drives the vision of Bold Bean, buying their green coffee (including an increasing number of direct trade relationships) and overseeing daily operations.
All of our coffees are roasted by Zack or Bold Bean roastery assistant, Sarah Posey, on our 35 kilo Loring Kestrel (affectionately named Lorenzo). Our goal with any coffee is to highlight origin characteristics while enhancing each coffees' natural sweetness. We always push ourselves to roast better and better coffee while maintaining precise consistency.
For Zack, coffee is a tool for promoting the wellbeing of others:
“I enjoy every day that we can positively affect people’s lives through the product we make and the interactions we have. These effects can stretch through the entire chain of coffee from producer to consumer. Not many jobs provide people with this opportunity, so for me, that’s pretty special.”
